If they pass the safety tests week commencing 7th Jan they can announce the first game alongside test events by the end of that week. There's no need to wait until after those test events to announce the league games. In other words we complete the safety tests before the test events this time. Last time we announced the test events first and that cost us.

So lets say Friday 11th we announce them all. 3 weeks notice should be enough for Newcastle fans, month notice for Leicester. A month and a half is plenty enough for Dortmund fans. The test events only really need a week notice as its just home fans.

No way on earth are we gonna announce an official game until we're absolutely certain we can play it.

That's what I'm saying. The final critical tests are week commencing 7th Jan so we'll announce if it passes them.

I'm saying they won't announce official games until after the test events to be 100% certain.
It would be a(nother) PR disaster if we announced it only for something else to go wrong.

I dont see why the safety tests wont be enough to announce the games. The follow up test events will just be a forgone conclusion as far as safety goes. They will just be used to tweak some things ready for the official opener. We announced the test events and opening game before the safety tests last time. I think we're doing the safety test first this time.

Probably a really simple answer and a question which has been asked before but why are the lights at the stadium all on at night?

I thought this may be due to people working in the stadium at night but they always seem to be on.

Just seems an enormous waste of electricity.

You want to grow the brand this is what it's all about.

Some fans ...

Do I? If you say so.

While we are it let’s see if we can whore out something that I love even more and dilute it to the point that it’s not even recognisable. I can tell my grandkids, hey kids, there used to be a football club over there. But we made a fuck load of money and really grew the brand and that’s all that matters to me.

Look, if you’re happy sharing grounds with totally different sports in order to make money that, in all likelihood, we as fans will probably never reap the benefit of, then fine. Personally, as a fan, that is of no interest to me.

I could tolerate a couple of meaningless American rugby games in order to get this stadium done but I’m drawing the line at permanently sharing our ground with anyone especially a stupid American football team but you’re different and that’s cool.

I haven't told you how I actually feel about it, I just said it is alot of dollar. I mean why bother building the new stadium in the first place with this ability if this wasn't the long term goal?

You want to all that's coming to you but are not interested in the business that is football, that's cool, but the game moved on years ago, we're just playing catch up is all.
